Quantitative value: 14.4 cm, Test that produced the valued: As described in Section 7.5 of the ASPRS Positional Accuracy Standards for Digital Geospatial Data the horizontal errors in lidar data are largely a function of GNSS positional error, INS angular error, and flying altitude. Therefore lidar data collected with GNSS error of 0.05m and the IMU error of 0.03492 degrees at an altitude of 2926m; the expected radial horizontal positional error will be RMSEr = 14.4cm. result: (missing) report: (DQ_AbsoluteExternalPositionalAccuracy) nameOfMeasure: Vertical Positional Accuracy evaluationMethodDescription: Vertical Accuracy of the point cloud and bare-earth lidar data was assessed and reported in accordance with the ASPRS Positional Accuracy Standards for Digital Geospatial Data; One-Hundered and sixteen (116) surveyed points were measured for the purpose of assessing the accuracy of the Colville NF Lidar data. (60 NVA + 56 VVA)Quantitative value: 15.8 cm, Test that produced the value: This data set was produced to meet ASPRS Positional Accuracy Standards for Digital Geospatial Data (2014) for a 10.0(cm) RMSEz Vertical Accuracy Class equating to NVA = +/-19.6cm at 95% confidence level and VVA =+/-29.4cm at the 95th percentile. This data set was tested to meet ASPRS Positional Accuracy Standards for Digital Geospatial Data (2014) for a 10.0(cm) RMSEz Vertical Accuracy Class. Actual NVA accuracy of the point cloud was found to be RMSEz = 4.1cm, equating to +/-8.1cm at 95% confidence level. Actual NVA accuracy of the bare-earth was found to be RMSEz = 4.1cm, equating to +/-8.0cm at 95% confidence level. Actual VVA accuracy was found to be +/-14.3cm at the 95th percentile. result: (missing) report: (DQ_CompletenessCommission) nameOfMeasure: Completeness Report evaluationMethodDescription: The raw LAS data files included all data points collected.

Airborne GPS and IMU data was collected during the acquisition and supported by LEICA SR530 GPS stations on NGS monuments K24, G483, and Z264. Data acquisition was completed between 8th of July through 25th of July 2015. Ground Control Survey: A survey was performed to support the acquisition of LiDAR collection. Ground GPS collection consists of collection NVA and VVA points for LiDAR validation in addition to control point GPS collection for flight support. All field survey observations were conducted between July 5, 2015 through July 25, 2015 using Leica SR530 and Topcon HiperV Dual Frequency GPS equipment, both configured to log data at 1 Hz, and at 10 degrees mask. dateTime: DateTime: 2015-07-25T00:00:00 processStep: (LI_ProcessStep) description: LiDAR Pre-processing: Airborne GPS and IMU data were merged to develop a Smoothed Best Estimate Trajectory (SBET) of the LiDAR system trajectory for each lift. LiDAR ranging data were initially calibrated using previous best parameters for this instrument and aircraft. Relative calibration was evaluated using advanced plane-matching analysis and parameter corrections derived. This process was repeated interactively until residual errors between overlapping swaths, across all project lifts, was reduced to 2 cm or less. Data were then block adjusted to match surveyed calibration control. Raw data NVA were checked using independently surveyed check points. Swath overage points were identified and tagged within each swath file dateTime: DateTime: 2015-07-31T00:00:00 processStep: (LI_ProcessStep) description: Initial processing of the GPS data was processed using Inertial Explorer. The solution file was generated and CloudPro software was used to generate georeferenced laser returns which were then processed in strip form allowing for the QC of the overlap between strips (lines). The data from each line were combined and automated classification routines run to determine the initial surface model. This initial surface model was then verified to the surveyed test points. dateTime: DateTime: 2015-08-11T00:00:00 processStep: (LI_ProcessStep) description: LiDAR Post-Processing: The calibrated and controlled LiDAR swaths were processed using automatic point classification routines in TerraSolid software. These routines operate against the entire collection (all swaths, all lifts), eliminating character differences between files. Data were then distributed as virtual tiles to experienced LiDAR analysts for localized automatic classification, manual editing, and peer-based QC checks. Supervisory QC monitoring of work in progress and completed editing ensured consistency of classification character and adherence to project requirements across the entire project. All classification tags are stored in the original swath files. After completion of classification and final QC approval, the NVA and VVA for the project are calculated. Sample areas for each land cover type present in the project were extracted and forwarded to the client, along with the results of the accuracy tests. Upon acceptance, the complete classified LiDAR swath files were delivered to the client. dateTime: DateTime: 2015-08-16T00:00:00 processStep: (LI_ProcessStep) description: LiDAR Classification: The calibrated LiDAR data was run through automated classification routines and then manually checked and edited. The data was classified into the following classes: Class Code:1 Class Item:Undetermined/Unclassified Class Code:2 Class Item:Bare EarthNoise dateTime: DateTime: 2015-08-23T00:00:00 processStep: (LI_ProcessStep) description: Classified point cloud data was received from USFS in LAZ format.
